Our stay at the Dalvay was fantastic. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was so friendly and accomodating. The restaurant was equally as good and I highly recommend trying the chicken dinner and chowder. The hotel grounds were so peaceful. I highly recommend this hotel.

We loved this Inn! Impeccable staff, grand interior, lovely food/dining. We enjoyed having coffee in the library in the morning and reading before breakfast. A wonderful stay! My only minor note is that in the upstairs wing where we stayed, the walls are pretty thin so you can hear others.
